To be fair, Perez had an unusually great race. Bottas was Mercedes' lab rat for their engine changes. The performace deficit further compounded by Lewis's fresh engine I imagine. He's as good a number 2 has you'd want IMO (though his racecraft is pretty atrocious at times!). Think they learned their lesson from the Nico years and went for the historic Ferrari-esque driver pairing.
Though to be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if he put in less effort in the final few races.

Perez seems to be having an easier time playing second fiddle, and seems happier to get a vicarious win.
